I have Renzo Gracie's Academy liked on my Facebook account. Apparently Anthony Bourdain (the celebrity chef) trained at his place before he committed suicide. I do not know for how long or what rank he held, or if he competed.

One recent article said he was a blue belt.

Ed O'Neil who plays Al Bundy in married with children is a Black belt under the Gracie's.

Joe Rogan did TKD and Now Jujitsu

There are a lot of celebrities who train martial arts. One of my favorites, as mentioned earlier is Ed O’Neil (aka Al Bundy, Jay Pritchett). I believe black belt in BJJ.

Two other favorites not mentioned yet...

Dolph Lundgren, aka Ivan Drago - 3rd Dan Kyokushin. He competed in and won the European Kyokushin open tournament in the late 70s/early 80s. He was a green belt at the time and had to borrow a friend’s brown belt to compete.

Tom Araya (vocals and bass for Slayer) - last I saw was a 2nd dan in Okinawan karate, either Goju Ryu or Shorin Ryu.
